    YEREVAN, APRIL 30, NOYAN TAPAN. "The swine flu infection spreads
    very quickly, it transmits from one person to another, therefore we
    are ready in advance to carry out measures in Armenia to reduce the
    risks," RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsian said at the government's
    April 30 meeting. He said that serious steps aimed at prevention of
    infection's penetration into the country need to be undertaken.

    RA Minister of Health Haroutiun Kushkian said that at present
    everything is done to prevent infection's penetration. In particular,
    quarantine is announced at Zvartnots and Gyumri airports, all arriving
    people are checked.

    The Minister also said that the Ministry has all necessary medicines.

    According to RA Minister of Agriculture Aramayis Grigorian, all cargoes
    imported to Armenia are disinfected, and everything possible is done
    for the quarantine announced at Armenia's border check-points to have
    much efficiency. According to him, pork import to Armenia was limited
    from April 26, especially from countries, where cases of infection
    have been already recorded. A. Grigorian at the same time said that
    the infection can transmit from pork to poultry, therefore it is also
    proposed limiting poultry import.
